He Lost Everything in 2008… What He Did Next Will Shock You
from The LSCRE Podcast · host Rob Beardsley
In this episode, Craig McGrouther sits down with Andrew McNair, founder of SWAN Capital, who shares his remarkable journey from saving $62K working at McDonald's and Denny's as a teenager to losing it all in the stock market at 19. After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad at 14, Andrew worked for free at a wealth management firm while maintaining jobs, eventually building a portfolio of 54 rental properties by age 30. The stress of hands-on management led him to pivot toward syndications through Cygnet, targeting geographic diversification across multifamily, storage, medical office, and flex industrial. Now managing $20M+ annually for retirees, Andrew emphasizes the importance of having "skin in the game". All SWAN employees invest 100% of their retirement funds in their own portfolios. His key insight: business owners need both active and passive real estate exposure to truly understand what they're solving for.Learn more about LSCRE:www.lscre.com
